    :hello: Hello! I have been lurking lately, trying to study. So the flying has fallen by the wayside a bit :o

    I submitted my case study last night :j So have done a little flying today. I have hoovered through downstairs, put on the DW, put on WM & hung out to dry, dusted & polished in the LR & sorted a bag of books to take to CS. DH & I also went to the garden centre this morning so check out what we need :) We bought 2 plants (can't remember what they were called, but they were pretty!), 5 strawberry plants & some garlic.

    DH has nearly finished the summerhouse! :j It is insulated, floored, wallpapered & half painted. He needs to finish the painting, and insulate the ceiling (he needs help as neither me or DS are tall enough). Hopefully it will be done this week. Then we can sort out the cupboard under the stairs.

    The dog is recovering from his op. We have the vets tomorrow to remove the staples _pale_ He is starting to get naughty - going a bit stir-crazy i think, as he hasn't had a walk for a couple of weeks :eek:

    OK - I think I will have a look at the next bit of studying I need to do. I don't want to get behind.
  • My message just got lost, so starting again. I was saying that a good day on the lists has been spoilt this evening by teenage son/husband-father sparring over education/effort/negativity. It got so bad I had to leave the room. I don't know how to deal with this situation. I just want the people I love to love each other.
    :)Motto for 2013: GET MORE DONE! AGAIN
    Do an hour a day on my BOOK! Also, lose weight. And be nicer

    Don't really know how to colour text and strike through so hope this is right!
    I've done most that I can apart from the nets and I don't do ironing!
    Got some washing done today and I have just been cooking for the baby and baking for the toddler, can't face HH paperwork now! Got some things to list on ebay so might go do that...
